If I started web development again in 2022 I would use GitHub and Twitter (web dev)

After 15+ years in web dev, I know how I would do it again and I want to share it with you. There are many routes in web development, you can make your own route, hopefully this will help!

Thanks for sharing your tips, Eddie. I'm curious if is it more valuable to share our learning on Twitter than on Medium? Because, whenever I google for solutions to my projects I can always see a bunch of Medium Articles displayed at the beginning but not Twitter. Looking forward to your helpful reply, as this is really going to help me to make my decision. Thanks again 🙏🙏🙏

[@eddiejaoude]

@@shinobi_coder88 thank you for your feedback! Both are useful and serve a different purpose. Yes on Twitter things are quickly lost but it is great for engagement. Blogs do have more longevity and searchability. I recommend doing both.

Started learning web dev over again.I regret not learning in public, documenting my journey and building projects. But this time I will learn from my past mistakes.This will boost my confidence. Thankyou Eddie!

[@eddiejaoude]

Thanks Ritesh! You have started sharing in public already with this message, keep going!

[@DorianDevelops]

Documenting my journey and making it public is something I regret not doing when I was learning to code. I was almost anti-social media at the time. I often wonder if that would have helped me land my first job faster. Also did you say you're 40!! The digital nomad life must be why you don't look a day over 30!

[@eddiejaoude]

I also regret not sharing my journey sooner too! lol thank you, the sun and good food help stay young :)

[@avinashprasadfilms]

Summary & Notes 1. Make a GitHub and Twitter account (two most important platforms for developers) 2. Getting Started: Learn HTML, CSS and create project, put it on GitHub. You use GitHub Pages to host it as a static webpage. 3. Learn JavaScript (freecodecamp is a good resource) 4. Learn libraries like Bootstrap 5. Share your work and what you're learning by tweeting about it everyday. Eddie calls it "standup" 6. Start Contributing to Open Source Projects

Thank you for summarising Avinash!

[@aldrinseanpereira140]

Hey Eddie! I love this video so much but I think it would be more helpful to : - add screenshots or a video while you are explaining at timestamp 4:00 onwards (just explaining in words feels a bit incomplete) - add a little checklist on the side of the video to remind us of what we need to go through (was thinking this is a silly ask but then you always encourage asking so I had to give it a shot as I got lost there)

[@eddiejaoude]

This is great and useful feedback Sean! Thank you! You are super right, I could (and should have) added those, it would have made the video more useful to people. Thank you again for your honesty, I love it!

What are your thoughts on posting on LinkedIn? Perhaps publishing links to finished projects would also help with getting more exposure.

[@eddiejaoude]

Posting to LinkedIn is good, but it is more about the achievements rather than the behind the scenes authentic side - so definitely do it, it can't hurt

[@thevasupodcast4561]

I just learnt html and css and pushed the project I made on GitHub, i even tweeted about my project with a link to GitHub page. But I really struggle as to what should I post daily? I don't make new project everyday.

[@eddiejaoude]

You don't need to post the project each day, post something you learnt or share a tip, pin the tweet that has the link to the repo, then people can find it without you being too pushy

It needs to add value, adding value can be information, link, even something to make others laugh - sharing your journey adds value to someone else. You need to experiment too, share things and see which does better
